I suspect younger people generally understand this and watch streaming shows instead. A creative who wants to tell a deep nuanced story would prefer 10 episodes where they get more time and probably better terms. People lamenting the death of movies don't get this. The good stuff is still out there, it's just in a different format. Movies are now more occasions to go out to the theatre. They have to be mass appeal, family friendly, nothing too complex.
